LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER,' FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1912, PAGE EIGHT LITTLE WHEAT PUT ON MARKET SUNDAY CLOSING iPIPPIHS RALLY TIIRESHERMEX BUSY AXD GRANARIES KILL. THE little Attention Given to Sales of 1912 , Wheat In Grande Ronde. Vp until this afternoon threshrme of Union county have had a very suc cessful week, and granarle8 have been filling rapidly. But while the splendid crop of wheat Is being threshed, there Is tut little movement In the sale line. What few, deala have been clos ed bring an average of 67 or 68 cents but not enough has been sold to dale to be Indicative of what the prices lo cally will really be. Invariably threshing reports bring In fine returns.' The grain Is of a good variety and with the prices likely to be between 65 and 70 cents the wheat raisers face a profltabl fall. Today's rain lias had a tendency of halting the threshing yet there seems little ques tion but that the work will proceed more or less regularly until the crop Is harvested.

I The management at Sherry's has se- , cared for Its patrons for Friday and Saturday one of the greatest films ever exhibited. A great big gripping ( arama of patriotism, love and Intrigue carried on under the very eyes of Un-! cle Sam In one of the enormous U. S. coast artillery fortn. , The explosion of' the submarine wins, throwing thousands of tons of water Into a column ninety feet high and carrying aloft the shattered frag ments of battleship's tender bearing the spies this alone make thla picture the most sensational film ever thrown on a motion picture screen.

In regard to the above order, more fully elaborated upon yesterday, Post master G. M. Richey today Issued a statement covering conditions as they will exist here. The statement says: I In acordanoe with above orders, malls arriving upon trains' 18 and 9 Saturday night will be worked as be fore, when on time; If late, the mail will be held together with malls ar riving upon Sunday, and the letters worked out and distributed to boxes Sunday evening, between the hours of j 6 and 10. Letters for persons In care of hotels, will be' worked out upon trains, and delivered promptly to the hotel boxes. Specials will be deliver ed upon arrival, papers and periodi cals can be had by the news dealers by calling for same. This change will reduce the work, so as to enable clerks and carriers to realize the day for rest and recrea tion. Barring the delay of about ten hours In working out Sunday malls, the service locally will be about the same as before. After the patrons be come accustomed to the change, there will probably be very little inconveni ence resulting thereby. All out-going malls will be dispatched as before.
